With an abundance of strong winds and long hours of sunlight, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region had delivered a total of 740.8 billion kWh of electricity to other parts of China by the end of 2023, of which clean electricity accounted for nearly 30 percent, the State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co said.
Xinjiang is rich in clean energy, including wind and solar power. The clean electricity transmitted from Xinjiang to other places amounted to 210 billion kWh since the transmission program of electricity generated in the western region was launched in November 2010, it said.
This is equivalent to a reduction of about 171.52 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, said the company.
The power transmission capacity has risen significantly over the past decades, with coverage expanding from seven to 20 provinces and regions nationwide, said Zhang Xinwei, director of the trading department at Xinjiang Power Exchange Center.
To tackle the problem of the distances between the locations of electricity production and consumption, State Grid's Xinjiang unit has established long-distance, large-capacity and low-loss ultra-high voltage power grid in Xinjiang to help send the locally-generated power nationwide.
The company aims to form a main power grid network, which will include seven circle lines for power supply within the region and six lines to transport power out of Xinjiang by 2025.
